Flow Cytometry-Based Characterization of Mast Cells in Human Atherosclerosis

Flow Cytometry-Based Characterization of Mast Cells in Human Atherosclerosis

The presence of mast cells in human atherosclerotic plaques has been associated with adverse cardiovascular events. Mast cell activation, through the classical antigen sensitized-IgE binding to their characteristic Fcε-receptor, causes the release of their cytoplasmic granules. These granul...
